The wind above felt strong, bringing warm air that began to cool because the sun had dimmed leaving a golden hue that increasingly made the horizon look amazing.
"Cold?" whispered Jared who was standing behind Suri, locked Suri's body with both hands holding the edge of the hot air balloon basket. Suri slightly turned his head, finding Jared's face that was already beside his face, although it had often been so close, seeing that the man was now beside him, Suri really felt the thump again, his heart was beating so hard.
"Slightly," Suri said timidly.
"I'll warm it up" whispered Jared again very gently right in Suri's ear which immediately made Suri's entire body creep because of it, making the pounding even harder, Jared closer his hands, and closer, as if tightening his cage on Suri's body.
Suri was completely stunned by the sight before his eyes, seeing the matchless beauty of God's creation, the very sad atmosphere they passed by just silent.
"Hows it? romantic enough?" jared said a little more asking Suri. Suri smiled sweetly, hearing a slight satirical tone from Jared.
"Why did you plan this? it can't be because I said you weren't romantic, you set this up right away" Suri told Jared.
"It's been a long time, it's my dream, if I had someone so special, I would take him to enjoy this together, actually wanting to take you to see the sunrise, but as you say, it's just like you said, you have to be there at 7 to get together, so I'm looking for a time when I can do this with you" Jared said, looking forward, Suri staring at the man's face, too beautiful to be hit by the color of the blackness, Suri could no longer say anything, he just smiled and looked back at the beautiful view from the top of the hot air balloon and enjoyed the warm and fragrant body of Jared which made him much more comfortable.
"Suri, I know we're going to have an engagement tonight but it's all because of my uncle's request, your father accepted this engagement because my uncle proposed it and all this because of my uncle" Jared told Suri, Suri who heard that slightly frowned.
"Then?" said Suri feeling displeased by this atmosphere, Suri even turned her body, wanting to look at Jared's face more seriously, Jared immediately let go of his grip letting Suri turn towards him, wanting to look at Jared's face more seriously, Jared looked at Suri's changed face, Jared seemed to be poking at her lips, slightly looking down while shaking his head slowly, as if covering something.
"Don't you agree with him? Do you want to cancel it?" suri asked a little surprised by Jared's statement, did Jared not want to be engaged to him? and yes, it was their engagement because Jared's uncle had asked for it before, but didn't Jared agree?
"It's all been arranged by my uncle, I want you to know, that my uncle wants me to marry you for my status and career, marrying you is one of my best ways to be like him," jared said to Suri in a low-pitched voice, as if there was a sense of regret heard, it immediately made Suri's heart feel sick, how could Jared say that? so what does that mean? so all this just because she wants to be president like her uncle and marrying him is a mere business demand.
Suri was more and more distrustful of what he heard, his brain as if not wanting to listen to those words coming out of Jared's lips.
"So all this time you've been giving me is because your uncle told you to do that? I don't believe this, "Suri said in disbelief, what is all this for? why would she take Suri to places that make Suri feel she is special, why should she say it now that after staying a few more hours they will be engaged, Suri could not cover up the upset, disappointed, disappointed, and the sad who suddenly broke all her beautiful feelings that just a moment ago settled in her heart. Suri then turned her body, fed up of looking at the face that had just made her feel thumping, but now it made her feel like she had fallen to the ground instantly.
"Therefore, now I want to do what is truly from my heart and not because of my uncle, Suri, will you marry me?" jared asked as he showed the small jewelry box before Suri's eyes, black velvet, Jared opened it revealing a white diamond ring with a very elegant cut.
Suri, who had been upset by Jared's confession, surprised him and saw Jared's behavior, who still dared to approach him from behind, fell silent, seemingly unable to believe what he had just heard, has he?
Suri's eyes were glued to the diamond ring and he quickly turned back his body, observing Jared's eyes that looked so sad and beautiful hit by the sunlight that was about to leave the earth, Suri was once again confused by this situation? what he really wants Jared, when he almost feels he will be heartbroken for the second time.
"Will you marry me?" jared asked once again with a gentle smile that would melt the whole heart that looked at him, he again pointed the ring box in front of Suri.
Suri just moved her gaze towards the ring shown by Jared, feeling still very shocked by this man's behavior, Jared had really made Suri want to be angry but happy at the same time, he said, how could this happen?
"You're so mean! Of Course, Yes! Will!" said Suri who immediately cried happily, he immediately entered hugging Jared's body in front of him, Jared who heard the answer smiled happily, returning Suri's embrace quite tightly.
Jared then let go of the hug, took the ring and wrapped it around Suri's ring finger. Suri stared at the ring, so well-matched and beautiful in her tapered hand, Jared then held Suri's delicate cheek, directing her lips towards Suri's small lips, kissing her very deeply but gently with the wind as if whispering congratulating the love of the two.
Jared let go of his kiss, staring at Suri's beautiful face under the glitter of the blazing flame-reflecting color giving hot steam to the hot air balloon, at the end of his eyes still visible the rest of the sparkling tears, which were still glistening, Jared removed it slowly.
Suri slowly opened her eyes, looking at the sweet smile on her man's face, so happy that she could say nothing.
"I'm sorry I made you cry, I didn't mean it that way, I just didn't want you to one day think our engagement was due to business issues and also because of our parents, that's why I want you to know that I love you," Jared said, explaining why he did it.
"Yes, I understand," said Suri nodding with a happy smile.
Jared hugged Suri again, accompanied him back to see the dark scene but did not reduce its beauty, the first star had appeared at the end of the horizon. They spend the rest of their time in a soulful silence, waiting for the time that draws them closer to their new level of life.
